l"1 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1906. SPORTS. SHORT SPRING TRIPS Baseball Teams In the Future Are Likely to Try New Plan. This probably will be the last spring in which major league baseball teams will begin their training so close to midwinter, as they have for many years. There has been a marked dis position of late to shorten these spring trips, both in time and distance cover ed, and for several reasons. Tfce ex perience of many clubs this year will go far toward producing a more radical change of policy than would otherwise be made. Pi»m all over the South have come reports of bad weather and poor re sults in the matter of getting practice, although some of the teams have been in training for two and threg weeks. The best favored -teams are those which went into Texas, and these have been handicapped «y rains and the cold "northers" for which the state is famous. The Chicago Nationals, for whom were selected the most norther ly training grounds of the lot, have been kept indoors by snow, but they have fared no worse than the White Stockings, who went as far south as they could get, only to he shut oft from steady work by rainstorms. The New York Nationals attempted to avoid the extremes in either direc tion by choosing Memphis, and for the fame reason the New York Highland ers went to Birmingham, Ala. Both ran into bad weather and only recent ly Polo ground fans were thrown Into, a. flit by the announcement that Christy M&thewson, on whose health rests the Giants' hope tor another pennant, had contracted nasal diphtheria as the re sult of a severe cold caught while practicing on wet grounds. Location, distance and expense hava counted little this year in the matter of con ditioning the players. Before the present training season began, several club owners, announced this would be their last year of exten sive trips. The latest convert is Ned Hanlon the new leader of the Cincin nati Reds, who so far have had the best luck of the sixteen clubs. Hanlon has announced that next year he will make a radical change, and cut the training down to three weeks. It is his idea only the pitchers need longer than that to get into play ing form. He will send his pitching staff and some catchers into a South ern city six weeks before~the champ' ionship season is scheduled to open, iet them work their arms gradually into condition, and then join the regular players in some moderate,climate for the remaining period of preparation, which will be devoted to putting the fielders into form physically and to a few practice games. He argues that the regulars need only three weeks of practice, and, if their preliminary work is made longer, they are likely to lose interest or go stale before the opening of the real season. The three weeks could be divided up into one week of boiling out and two weekB of outdoor prac tice with gradually increasing speed. Ball'•players of major league exper ience and ability do not need extensive practice to retain their skill in either batting or fielding. Time ia needed only to train the muscles back into such form that they will stand hard use without soreness. Back in the days of the bicycle fad devotees who took their wheels out of storage In the spring did not have to learn the trick of riding over again. There might be a little less soreness of, hand and eye in guidihg the thing, a little more ap parent exertion required to propel it, but the old skill returned in a day or two.. Care was necessary to avoid overdoing it at first, and there was an inevitable soreness of the muscles after their long rest, but that was all. In the same way ball players ac quire their former sureness of hand and eye in short jjrder every Spring. It is a matural instinct which returns almost immediately. Nearly \four weeks are left before the National league season opens and more than that before the American league opens in the west. The players can experience another week of ba.i weather and still have all that Nci Hanlon thinks necessary to' get int.) championship- form. This year's ex perience will be watched with inter est on that account. If the teams, which have been kept back in the!) work show as good condition, when the real race begins as those which had the advantage of longer time our of doors, there will be a general rush next season to curtail spring' train ing. Chicago Nationals never have start ed on better in the spring than they did in the two years they worked out at Champaign, previous to getting th.j California fever, and after cutting out Southern trips some five years ago. A repetition of their Champaign form this year will mean a permanent re turn to the short trip and short train ing policy of President Murphy. Be fore leaving for the South President Comiskey of the White Sox announced that next vear's trip for his team would be curtailed to 30 days at most Another thing which will mitigate against long training, trips and longer exhibition scedules is the restriction of the traffic In minor league players Which doubtless wlll iw enforced be fore another ytar.

In consequence, practically all teams have been compelled to spilt up and spread out over different sections of the South in order to come anywhere near making expenses, and the patron age is constantly decreasing, in pro portion. The two team policy has necessitated taking a large number of players along and is one source of the growing evil of "covering up" minor league players. Steps have been taken by the national commission, largely through the efforts of Ban Johnson and Garry Hermann, to prevent and punish clubs which engage in the practice of "covering up" playere, with the result that few club owners are likely to purchase or draft more men from the ininors next year than they need to recruit the ranks of their own teams.

Blanche, general agent in Du luth for the Northern Pacific road, has come iiito possession of a folder issued by the road in 1879, and even to those people to whom a quarter of a century back doesn't seem so very long, the changes in the northwest since that railroad folder did service are startling.-**. At that time the Northern Pacific road extended west only as far as Bis marck, but it appears to have been surveyed through to Portland, as is indicated by the dotted line on tho folder map,' from the North Dakota capital to the Columbia river. In those days the state flourished in the west as a means of transportation, and It was at a time when there was much excite ment over the discovery of gold in the Black Hills. The Northern Pacific folders In 1879 carried numerous advertisements of these stage lines and of Missouri river steamers. The buffalo still roamed the plains in great herds and the western frontier was full of the romantic and the picturesque. Then were the days when the railroads and stage routes "Spectacles" "Eyeglasses" Made right I purchase only the best material that the market affords.

The stage routes laid great stress In their advertising on connections with the Northern Pacific and on the great precautions that were taken to insure the safety of passengers and their property. The "Custer Route" to the Black Hills is advertised on the folder as the only line having United States military protection. The stage route from Bismarck to the Black Hills Is further recommended as follows: "The United States government, recognizing the importance of this, the only first class route to the Hills, has established a military post near the foot hills to protect the line from Bismarck to the Black Hills, thus making it as safe and free from danger in traveling as in any part, of the states. "in addition to the protection given by United States troops the com pany has established a stystem of outriders, two 'of whom accompany each coach. They have also adopted a plan to further protect passengers from raids by 'road agents. Pas sengers before starting can deposit all monys not required for expenses of meals, etc., on the road, with their agent, and secure a draft for their anftrant on their agent at the other end of the line, thus obviating all danger of loss." While there is an occasional hold-up offa stage now-a-days or even a train Is brought to a stand by soiife road agent., the west is no worse in this respect than some other parts of the country. The nrofession of road agent and ,the -gentle art of shooting up towns have become almost memories since the Northern Pacific issued its folder in 1879. The palatial trains speed over the prairie from which have vanished .the buffalo, the armed stage coach, the military escort, the road agents band, and to a large extent the Indian. M. Hannaford, now second vice president of the Northern Pacific, was chier clerk for G. G. Sanborn, who was general freight and passenger, agent of the Northern Pacific in 1879, H. E. Sargent, who was general manager of the Northern Pacific in 1879, later built the Fargo Southern. He died some years ago at Detroit, Minn. H. A. Towne was superintend ent of the Northern Pacific in 1879, with headquarters at Bralnerd. He is now a resident of Minneapolis and has long since retired from the railroad business. "Billy" Doyle, Henry Spalding, Captain Spalding, Mose BrinkerhofT, Charles Cavender and Edward Gold smith were passenger conductors on the Northern Pacific then. Doyle is keeping a livery at Fargo.

St. Thomas Times: Murder trials are expensive luxuries. In the com missioners' proceedings published in this issue appear items of expense in cident to the LeFler trial aggregating about $2,200. To this must be added from $600 to $S00 more expenses of the inquest and preliminary examina tion, or a total of about $3,000. This expense was incurred by the county and a life sn_nffed out all because of a drunken row. The citizens of Pem bina county have a moral to learn here—enforce more rigidly the prohi bition law. While attempting to get from one car to another on the Soo freight. Thomas Bourey of Casselton, missed his footing and fell from the side of a box car into the Mouse river at Minot. The accident occurred just as the train was pulling into the Soo yards east of the city. The fall stunned the unfortunate man and when taken from the river by members of the train crew, Bourey was unconscious. He was removed to the county hospital where his condition is regarded as critical by the attending physician. As a result of the fall Bourey sustained a severe injury to his skull and other wise injured his body.
